Create a map of the consumption value of land in Moscow

In fact, we have been talking about the differentiation of the use value of land for a long time. Obviously, in the city, this range and the fractional estimates are very large. But it is still possible to make a map of the consumption value of urban land. It clearly shows that the same plot has a different use value depending on the type of building. The type of building for which the land value is the highest is advisable. The map gives a general picture of the optimal location of various types of buildings in the city.


If such a map had been in the hands of the designers, perhaps the situation in Moscow would have been different. Today, it is such that industrial facilities can end up in residential areas, and ordinary buildings can end up on valuable land near a metro station. Small offices can be located in the core of the urban center, while theaters and unique shops can be located on the outskirts. Despite the huge number of public buildings built in the post-war years, not a single community center has been created in the city. It's a depressing picture. It seems that the city was formed not by systematic actions, but as a result of incoherent land acquisition actions.


But even now, a map of the land's consumption value could help change the situation. In particular, to continue the old Moscow tradition of forming, as in the capitals of other countries, citywide community centers. A tradition dictated to a large extent by the realization of the value of various plots of urban land. Kitay-gorod has long been shaped as a business center, Kuznetsky Bridge as a shopping center, and Boulevard Ring as a hub of cultural and entertainment centers. Large medical complexes were created outside the then urban development — on Pirogovka, Kaluzhskaya, and Sokolniki. Now, as a result of the sprawl of the city's territory, they are surrounded by residential buildings.


I think that the map of the consumption value of land will show the expediency of maintaining such specialization. For example, GUM should be a department store, but not of mass-produced, but of unique goods. Together with the Lower Shopping Malls and the Quarenghi Village, which were recreated as wholesale trade centers, it could form an all-Union shopping center. October 25 Street is seen as a historical and cultural zone. It is reasonable to specialize the boulevard ring as a citywide cultural and entertainment complex, complementing it with restaurants and specialized cafes. It is here, and not somewhere on the outskirts, that we need to find a place for new theater studios. It also makes sense to continue the tradition of hosting editorial offices of newspapers, magazines and other mass media here.


Exhibition halls, as objects typically citywide (regional exhibition halls have not justified themselves), should also be grouped in the center, placing them, perhaps, along Gorky Street, freeing up the premises of standard goods stores for them. Kuznetsky Most and the surrounding neighborhoods, a historical site of "luxury" shops, should be recreated precisely as a citywide shopping center with expensive goods stores and model houses that do not create powerful flows of visitors.
